When do they ripen? Mine has grown pretty quick, but refuses to flower.

Thanks and again your pai lis look like the real deal. I compared the shape of your pai li with some Chinese videos and yours look authentic and your taste report pretty much confirmed it. I should have eaten plenty of pai li when I lived in Beijing many decades ago. Both the scions I got from USDA and cricket hill grew very vigorously but the fruits were very gritty and the cores were disproportionately big. So now it’s likely we have 2 versions of Pai Li going around, one is true and the other one could be a mislabeled cousin of pai li.
